Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Has anyone relocated or added a strap post? Search hasn't helped...
I'm finding that I must keep my Celeb high and tight to my body in order to keep the top from tilting away.
I was thinking of moving the current strap post or more than likely adding an additional one to the back side of the neck heel(?).
I remember reading about putting a anti-skid strip on the bottom of the lap section of the bowl. Which way ot go?
TIA |

As to a strap post, I believe that you can put one on the treble-side of the neck heel, or on the very bottom/back. I put one on my generic 12-string, on the side. I'd wait for Jason's (johnnycash83) input. He knows that stuff. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Try going to Lowes and buy a small piece of black non skid and stick it on for a try. You can always remove it, and it won't mark up the guitar. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Thanx for the inputs thus far. In rereading my post I should have said "to keep the bottom from slipping out". The top is always against my chest.
Sorry for the confusion. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | Are you talking about when you sit or when you stand up?
For sitting...the 3M non-skid from the hardware store works great. I cut to fit the area I want it in and it's nearly invisible when applied.
I doubt you'd get it off without pulling the textured enamel off the bowl.
As for standing, move the strap button from where it is on the bass side to the exact same place on the treble side.

Man, I just turned the big six-oh and you expect me to stand while playing? Dancing, oh yeah!
Just ribbin'. No, while I'm relearning after a 30+ year hiatus, I'm sittin'.
I've used the 3M non-skid on two of my .45 cal 1911 front grip straps. Here's a hint for those wanting to use the 3M; apply Elmer's Rubber Cement on the item you want to preserve. Let it dry for an half hour and then apply the 3M. Rub the excess ERC off with your finger. The ERC will allow you to remove the 3M without damaging the finish.
Now I'm not sure about git wood finishes, but it sure works on metal, plastics and fiberglass. Remove the 3M and just rub off the ERC.
Now that I thought of the ERC, I think I'll give the 3M a try! Thanx! |
